Publisher's Summary

Is it possible to:

Reach your genetic potential in six months? Sleep two hours per day and perform better than on eight hours? Lose more fat than a marathoner by bingeing?

Indeed, and much more.

This is not just another diet and fitness book. The 4-Hour Body is the result of an obsessive quest, spanning more than a decade, to hack the human body. It contains the collective wisdom of hundreds of elite athletes, dozens of MDs, and thousands of hours of jaw-dropping personal experimentation. From Olympic training centers to black-market laboratories, from Silicon Valley to South Africa, Tim Ferriss, the New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, fixated on one life-changing question: For all things physical, what are the tiniest changes that produce the biggest results?

Thousands of tests later, this book contains the answers for both men and women. From the gym to the bedroom, it's all here, and it all works.

You will learn (in less than 30 minutes each):

How to lose those last 5 to 10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails

How to prevent fat gain while bingeing (Christmas, holidays, weekends)

How to increase fat loss by 300 percent with a few bags of ice

How Tim gained 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time

How to sleep two hours per day and feel fully rested

How to produce 15-minute female orgasms

How to triple testosterone and double sperm count

How to go from running 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks

How to reverse "permanent" injuries

How to add 150+ pounds to your lifts in six months

How to pay for a beach vacation with one hospital visit

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are more than 50 topics covered, all with real-world experiments, many including more than 200 test subjects.

You don't need better genetics or more discipline. You need immediate results that compel you to continue.
